Functional Brain Mapping for Epilepsy Surgery
This study is looking at a new way to map the brain called 'dynamic tractography' for people with epilepsy. This method helps doctors see how different parts of the brain communicate, especially those involved in language. The goal is to improve how doctors predict language outcomes after epilepsy surgery. You could be eligible if you are between 6 months and 21 years old, have drug-resistant epilepsy, and are having epilepsy surgery that includes special brain recordings (extraoperative intracranial EEG). The study will measure language outcomes one year after surgery to see how well this new mapping technique works. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 80 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 80 participants. It is testing a new brain mapping technique during epilepsy surgery.
- What's involved
- You would undergo epilepsy surgery with extraoperative intracranial EEG recording. Your language outcome will be measured at 1 year.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 1 year to assess language outcomes.
